wifi

I am new to BSD, coming from Slackware. On my Thinkpad I would like to
connect via ethernet to my broadband modem, usually from home. That
works. On wifi I would like to connect to a wireless network while
travelling. Is there a simple command line on how to connect to a WEP or
WPA network?
Thanks / JB

Many thanks. It is this WEP connection that causes me trouble. After
disabling this security barrier I can connect without problems
